That is no big deal, quite common among family rides. This ride here at SFWoA, which I have been on, has 20 cars per train.http://rcdb.com/installationgallery634.htm?Picture=3

Pepsi Ripsaw at Knott's Camp Snoopy has 15 cars per train. All 3 of these rides are Zierer, so I guess it's just the way they build rides. Rediculouly long trains!

Hmm... I really didn't know any different on kiddie coasters. On Zierer coasters it must just be the norm then. How many trains on Spacely's Sprocket rockets?

Well what company makes it? Are there other companies that make little kids rides other than Zierer and Vekoma?

Yeah they should definitely break that up into two trains so it doesn't take so long to load the one train.

It's not that big of a hill... the momentum keeps it going just like any other coaster.
